Klaus ended the phone call from Elijah and immediately turned to look at Maeve. She, in her wolf form still, was fast asleep in a corner.
While Elijah and Kol boarded a flight to Virgina to get to Mystic Falls as soon as they could, that night proved to be more challengingly for Maeve and Klaus.
Just as Klaus finished discussing something with Caroline which Maeve blocked out without her conscious will, Maeve shifted back into her human form. The spell she had casted on herself to hide the hideous look had melted now showing the effects the darkness was having on her.
Caroline looked shocked seeing Maeve. "What is it?" asked Klaus before turning around,
"Wait!" shouted Caroline loudly. Klaus looked startled when he flinched and looked at Caroline again. "Maeve shifted back and she's...um, not wearing clothes."
Klaus hummed and nodded. He closed his eyes and relied on his senses to navigate his way. "go a bit to your left and there's a blanket." he followed Caroline's words and went to use it to cover Maeve.
"Why did you shift back?" asked Klaus moving away from Maeve, just so she could have space to stand up.
"I...uh, I guess I wanted to." Maeve wrapped herself completely around with the blanket and stood up, stretching out her legs. "Turn around idiot, let me put on some clothes."

Maeve gazed out the window with an unflinching stare on the silhouette of the bushes barely visible under the night. Klaus knew it just by seeing her stance that Maeve had once again been pushed at the back of her mind.
"You shouldn't have shifted back." said Klaus.
Maeve turned around, her eyes immediately settling on Klaus quite sharply and with a cold touch, "what makes you think I didn't make her do it?" she asked him in a condescending tone. Maeve strolled away from the window and over to Klaus who stood close to the barrier.
"I fed enough on her magic. For months to grow strong Klaus. You don't know how much I am capable of." asserted Maeve.
Klaus growled showing off his anger, "I will end you." Maeve laughed obnoxiously loud and stepped even closer to him,
"You can try but I am the Serene Witch, Klaus. It won't be easy. But sure give it a try. I'm wearing the ring, I'll just come back." commented Maeve, "Come on now, Klaus. You have always been the better one. Feared, a true Alpha, the perfect hybrid, greedy for power. I always wondered why she decided to choose Elijah and not you. You are far more suited for me. Evil, powerful, hated by the world. I get it that you've got issues, God knows how many hours of therapy but let's be honest we are all a little coo-coo ourselves. But you──you are all sorts of nuts. Parental issues, anger issues, abandonment issues, demons that just love you."
Klaus pressed his hand around her neck and slammed her against the wall behind. "You mind your next words. I know better than to react but you leave me no choice."
